Also includes Margulies reading "The Actor's Vow," a quotation from Elia Kazan. Clips are interspersed throughout, including: several excerpts from episodes of "The Good Wife" (2009-); a clip from Marguilies' 1994 guest appearance on "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993-1999); selections from "ER" (1994-2009); a clip from "The Sopranos" (1999-2007); an excerpt from "The Mists of Avalon" (2001); and a clip from Margulies's guest appearance on "Scrubs" (2001-2010).
